Marin hillside hide away
This property is located backing up on the Muir woods and is accessed by a circuitous route through the hillside neighborhood. Folks with a large vehicle (like us) but who are not used to careful maneuvering in tight spaces might find the location challenging. One of the bedrooms is a fold out couch. Access to San Francisco, the Golden Gate, and any thing on the Marin side is great. Nice place overall.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house in Mill Valley! It was a perfect location, and very spacious for our 7 member family. The kitchen was fully equipped with whatever was needed: plenty of dishes, etc., appliances, etc. The house was impeccably clean and so comfortable.Our only issue was that the pull-out couch in the porch bedroom was very uncomfortable. We did manage a work-around though.

Great quiet location in Mill Valley
We had a very pleasant stay in this property. We were there to run the Miwok 100k race which starts in Stinson Beach, and location was perfect for us. The house has a very nice and large living area which is perfect for relaxing, and it is nested in the woods, which is very nice and quiet.

A perfect retreat in the woods
I can’t say enough about Tara. She is super responsive and acts on any question or request in minutes! The house is so comfortable and the living area is nicely set up for chatting in front of the fireplace. You see trees out every window and the property is very private. There is a tenant downstairs that is very friendly and quiet. And you are only minutes from restaurants and a great supermarket. Hiking is very close and only about 10 minutes from Muir Woods.

Nice location.
The location was very private, we didnt know there's a quite renter in a place under main house. The gas fireplace was nice on foggy days. There's No Television

Lovely Cottage
The home is quaint and tucked away quietly in the redwoods with a warm, cozy fireplace that we enjoyed. The rooms are a bit dated, but the kitchen is open and spacious which was important to our chefs in the family:) There happened to be a troublesome ant situation while we were there that was unable to be addressed during our stay, however, we were told this would be tended to after our departure, which I'm sure they will/did...just would be sure to request there is ant spray stored at the house in the event it is needed...

Nice place
The ad is correct, it is quiet and serene. Located conveniently near Muir Woods, Golden Gate, Bridge, and downtown San Francisco. Quiet evenings outside on the back deck are very nice, lots of wildlife, a local grey longhair cat, and a family of deer visit every night and meander through unalarmec only 20 feet away. Very cool.

Wedding weekend
My daughter was married in Mill Valley this weekend and family from the east coast came. Eight of us stayed in the four double bedrooms and shared all our time in the spacious yet cozy main room. We were minutes to Muir Woods and beach and also wine tasting as well as the wonderful wedding. This location showed our east coast relatives some of the best adventures in California !! Would definitely come to this friendly home again!!!
